TrueSpace is a paid product before, but now they have released it as a freeware for windows. The new version of truespace allows people to export 3D content to virtaul earth. It also allows to export as X Format for game engines like XBOX 360. It serves as an alternative to 3ds Max and Google Sketchup. There is an open source project called Blender for 3D modeling which supports wide number of platforms including windows, mac, linux, BSD, solaris." Given the wording of the article, maybe he is referring to Blender. Blender comes with at least Fedora (I assume other distros as well.) I couldn't find any reference to Truespace being able to run on Linux, however,  I did find a reference to some compatibility between the two applications which could cause some confusion. ??

My little cousins like to play on them on occasion.  However, some of the programs they like to use are windows based,and some of them are linux based. I like to use the computers for linux based things and they are running a distributed client when not in use. What I -want- is a system that lets me netboot the machines, copy vm image files to the netbooted system's harddrive. Allow me to launch the VM in a fullscreen kiosk mode. (copy a new image file in the background while they are using the vm that is in use.) Let them log in as admin let them completely screw up the system. When they logout or restart, they get a nice fresh image to work with. (They have shared filespace on my server because i do end up wiping out the machines often as I retool for different projects.) I would like this to work with both linux and windows so you can pick n choose which OS you want to run/destroy. I was going to use the linux k12 or cobbler for the netboot system. Then I was going run qemu on top of it for my choice of VM's to use and just adjust qemu to run fullscreen in more of a kiosk mode after selection of the vm to actually use. I was going to manage/reload the vm images using the unused bandwidth in the background with a shell script, and do checksums on the images to verify the copy completed, etc. I found the paravirtualization drivers for kvm for Windows and I use those on my laptop and it seems to work okay for my use. I can handle it if say cobbler can drop the customized image onto the disk, wiping the drive isn't that bad, but I do have different sized drives on the system. I could just use a terminal server, but that doesnt really let me leverage the horsepower of the client machines which means my -real- projects won't have enough horsepower when they are screwing around. Does anyone know of a project that lets me do this?  Or know of a better way to do this? comments/flames? ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ linux-user mailing list <A title=mailto:linux-user@egr.msu.edu href="mailto:linux-user@egr.msu.edu">linux-user@egr.msu.edu</A> <A title=http://mailman.egr.msu.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-user href="http://mailman.egr.msu.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-user">http://mailman.egr.msu.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-user</A> End of linux-user Digest, Vol 70, Issue 19 ****************************************** </BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></BODY></HTML>
